Some People Suck, But Don't Mean Too

You know how people are rude or bitchy, and you just write them off and/or talk about them to your friends. I did the same thing, but these terrible people end up doing something nice to me. I, then, have to go back to my friends, retract all of my statements, and tell them that that old butthead person and I are now friends. Over time, I've come to realize that some people suck, but don't mean too. These people are all around us, and usually they are the one's we don't like immediately. I actually have thousands I've encountered over my lifetime. You don't have to be looking for them to find them, either. They are all around us acting like buttheads to us each and every day. I feel as though each one has a category too.

We have the "I don't mean to be rude, but" ones. FYI, non rude people don't start sentences with "I don't mean to be rude, but". If you have said this you probably suck, but don't mean too. I know you think you're not being rude by addressing the fact that your not trying to be rude, BUT the person your saying this to has already had a small internal panick attack. I know this because this phrase has been stated to me several times, and each time I experience heart palpatations. Not really sure why people even bother to excuse the fact that they are about to make you feel like a complete idiot. I'd rather someone say how they feel it and be totally rude quick and fast, like ripping off a bandaid. No need for the whole politically correct beginning phrase because what comes next is the meat and potatoes part thats really SUCKS! This category of people is usually bosses or people that you're doing jobs for, so just be cautious.

Next we have the people that you speak to, and they either do a face gesture or pretend as though they didn't even hear you. This category of folks really gets to me. I'm a huge "Hey, how are you?", and I usually get the Smirk Smilers. Smirk Smilers will range from people who are really shy to those who hate that you're alive. They suck, but don't mean too. I hate when I realize the person is just shy, because I've gone the whole day with mixed emotions about the person. I'll go from "This person doesn't like me, WHY!" to "This person is a total butthead and is so miserable and that they want to make everyone miserable". Later on the former Smirk Smiler will turn into my bestfriend's aunt's cousin, and we'll be best friends by the end of the day. The other Smile Smirkers that wish you weren't alive have decided your presence makes their life miserable, and it's most likely because you have more friends than they do. You see how Smirk Smilers can become exhausting. I've decided the people that blatantly ignore your presence did not have a proper kindergarten teacher to discipline them. My kindergarten teacher put me in the corner and gave me tickets every time I was rude and ignored my fellow students and teachers. I was grounded most of 1986. These poor people have sucked, but don't mean too since they were 5.

Last, but not least, are the evil Poker Face Friends. I can spot the Poker Face Friends from a mile away, so I don't have trouble with this group. However, individuals in this group are very difficult to decipher. You tell them everything about you, and they tell you the highlights of themselves. After they have gotten some of your secrets out of you, don't worry it happens to the best of us, they change the facts in their head, and they tell the new Poker Face Friend version to the entire public. The reason these people suck, but don't mean too is because their loved ones have not put them in a mental facility yet. I hate this category of people! My former Poker Face Friends have gone after my and my friends' ex-boyfriends (girl code!) and have spread Poke Face Friend lies about my friends. I don't think so!! The main thing is that these people need help, and it is our responsibility to not beat their face in but find them help.

There are those in life that just suck. If you do run across these people that suck, you should always take the high road. The high road being tell all your friends and their friends about this awful person and try to get them not to like this person either. First and foremost, make sure they suck, but don't mean too.
